TV Review - Kings - Overview

nbc.com/Pictured: (l-r) Ian McShane as King Silas Benjamin, Christopher Egan as David Shepard

Welcome to my first blog entry on "Kings". Here you will find my thoughts, comments, opinions, questions and random ramblings about the show. Please feel free to add any comments, questions, or suggestions.

"Kings" is a show that can be seen on NBC on Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. I started to watch it with very little expectations and now, 4 episodes later, I am totally hooked. It has different twists and turns that always keep you guessing as to what will happen next. The acting and the filming are very high quality.

After I finished watching the first episode I thought it had a Shakespearian tone to it. It had the King (Ian McShane) and his family with all their tragic flaws. The heroic soldier who makes his way into the King's life and of course he has a love interest who just happens to be the King's daughter Michelle (Allison Miller). A few days after I watched the show I realized that it is actually a modern day take off on the biblical story of David. The heroic soldier, David Shepard (Chris Egan), actually fights a tank conveniently named Goliath while saving the King's son.

"Kings" is into its fourth episode and if you have the time I would suggest you try and watch the past episodes. There are so many twists and turns it will be worth the watch. Some suggestions to watch the full episodes: On Demand, Hulu , or the NBC Kings website.

Next week's episode will have a new character played by Macaulay Culkin. He seems to have grown up since his "Home Alone" days. This should be interesting.
